This page lets you control how, for a customer and product combination, its demand is split between the locations it serves.

Before you start

Use the context selectors at the top-right to select a customer, product, and scenario combination. Additionally, you can manually enter the required values using the search function.

The Planning Status indicates if the inventory plan is open or closed for editing.

Planned Customer to DC Disaggregation

In this chart, you can track the disaggregation percentage of customer demand to various distribution centers that serve the customer.

Note: Use legends to view information for any specific customer. Select or deselect a legend to show or hide its details in the chart.

Override Customer to DC Disaggregation

Use this table to override the default disaggregation calculations. When a location's disaggregation percentage is changed, the percentage difference is split across other locations. This ensures that the rebalanced disaggregation total is 100% across all locations.

Parameters

The parameters are shown in the Effective Parameters card. You can configure the parameters in the Edit Parameters card. When you update parameters, the new values are shown in the Effective Parameters card, and are applied globally.

You can input values for customer to-location DC disaggregation calculations in Edit Parameters. 

Parameter nameDescription
Disaggregation basis

Default process for establishing the disaggregation percentages.

  • History Time Range: uses historic shipment data to determine which distribution centers have shipped to the customer.
  • Fixed Disaggregation: manual entry of the disaggregation percentages.
  • Even Split: evenly spread across all distribution centers that are available to the customer.
Disaggregation Time rangeNumber of past periods to analyze to determine profile of historic shipments. It's only required when Disaggregation Basis is set to History Time Range.
Disaggregation Calculation Logic

Historic shipment percentages are calculated at the:

  • Customer level: distribution centers that have shipped to the customer.
  • Customer x Product level: distribution centers that have shipped the product to the customer.
Minimum Allowable %

A minimum threshold, below which any calculated percentages are ignored. It prevents any small percentages from being calculated due to one-off past shipment activity.  

This parameter applies to the percentages calculated using the History Time Range disaggregation basis. Percentages below the threshold arising from overrides are allowed.

Effective ParametersCurrent parameters based on which the disaggregation is calculated. 

Validation Error shows the number of disaggregation errors. Errors can be checked on the 120 - Disaggregation Validation Errors page.
